An article regarding our “What’s at Stake on Nov. 4th” event appeared in the Columbia Missourian and provides a good summary of the ground covered during the debate. It also featured comments from the presidents of both this chapter and the local Federalist Society chapter.
Jonathan Hutcheson, president of the American Constitution Society at MU, said the debate was held in part because of the upcoming election but also for the sake of intellectual curiosity.
“It’s always healthy to discuss these issues openly in a way that’s structured and well informed,” Hutcheson said. “Instead of just getting snapshots here and there on these issues, it’s a little bit more of a focused discourse on the subject matter.”
Carolyn Hamilton, president of The Federalist Society at MU, said the goal was to represent different views and foster discussion.
“Something that both of our groups strive to do is just open up everything for discussion,” she said. “Neither of us are political organizations. We just like to open up current topics.”
